Alright we were all complete novices but when you are in a group of 20 year old lads and you are a 50 year old woman the rates at which you learn are different. I would have ended up killing myself trying to keep up with them.
So its private for me I am afraid.

I did some of my BASI training with people in their late teens, they weren't even close to me in terms of fitness, they tired too quickly and had no stamina at all so it's all relative.

I agree with ise and must make the point that the instructor should go at your pace not that of the "fastest" and if he feels that a member of the class is so out of step with the rest he should move them not keep up with them to the detriment of the others

me ...went once....
